Memories

We were all sitting in the living room waiting for the phone call. Everyone was silent. Even my 6 year old Roy, who was usually always spirited, waving his Hulk action figure around in the air and running around the house shouting battle cries, was sitting listlessly in a corner, fiddling with the wheels of

Fear

I could feel it trying to sense me. I held my breath and tried not to move. Maybe it would think I’m not here. I inched back slowly to become one with the wall, but my palm fell on a glass shard and I let out a sharp breath. It raised it’s head and looked
